My Finish Line

Oh bless - cried watching the biggest loser - cute!! I m the same - I cry so easily!!! way tooo sensitive!!!

On a separate note your body clearly is asking for a day out - so stay at home and chillex!!! :)
 
Camila ~ That is a good idea. Most places have little stars or something next to there low-cal diets.

Justina ~ It was the episode they showed their stories since they've been there. I just cannot imagine losing 100lbs in 11 weeks. I know there is a lot of controversy about the biggest loser but those people just did such an amazing job I couldn't help it.


Blah! So, I went home last night and totally lazy. I ended up ordering jimmy johns again cause I was so lazy. I stayed up too late, past 10:30 so I did not get up this morning. I think I've fallen off Insanity too much so I am going to start back at the beginning on Monday and try to do it again. I'll continue going to the gym probably every day until then. Definitely cannot skip tonight. I think it is the peanut butter that made feel weird on Monday because I had about half of what I had on Monday, yesterday, and it kind of messed with my stomach. If I have any today I'll make it an earlier snack so it doesn't effect my gym time. It's only week 2 and I feel like I am slowing down on motivation so I am going to bust ass at the gym tonight. Hopefully stay about 2 hours. Today I'll have yesterday's lunch since I didn't forget it (YAY). Chicken Apple Sausage and asparagus and a walk :) Yum

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Megan, what's really helped to keep me motivated is knowing that I have made progress. When I don't want to get on that treadmill or start that taebo DVD I just remind myself of where I was, where I want to be, and that I need to work my butt off to get there. It's been working so far.

I like your idea of starting over with insanity, but is it really necessary to start back at the beginning? I'm asking honestly since I've never tried it so I really don't know how difficult it would be to start where you stopped. If you feel it'll be easier for you to start over, by all means that's what you should do. Whatever it takes to get you rolling and losing again. :)

Good luck! Looking forward to hearing how your workout goes today. Push yourself girl! :)
 
Remember Megan, it's not about NOT slipping up. It's about continuing to forge ahead even when we DO slip a little. You've been pushing pretty hard... give yourself a day, recover, then hit it again.
 
hey Megan (i love your name btw) it's okay too feel lazy once in a while - dont worry motivation comes and goes - regardless stay on track & remember:

SWOOOSH!!!!
 
Just keep going, one foot in front of another. If you have a bad day then pick up tomorrow- 4 days better than you were and one day off is still better than where you were. You can do this :)
 
Megan - Here I am to be another cheerleader! I think it is actually great that you admit how you are feeling; lazy, unmotivated, etc. I think real problems start when we start to justify how we are feeling (e.g. I'm not lazy, it's just....this or that).

Always here if you need to vent or complain or anything :) We all definitely have those days. And I agree with the above, we all slip up sometimes, we are not perfect. That is why posting here helps me so much...I realize that this process takes lots of time and effort. I don't know about you but I am the MOST impatient person in the world and I want to be skinny now now now. Haha. But the way I look at it, if I completely throw in the towel again, I'll be right back here in six months regretting losing out on all of the progress that I COULD have made by that point, and having to start all over again.

Okay I will step off my soapbox now lol. Hope your day is getting better. The weekend is getting closer!

WOW! Thank you all for all of the support! I am so glad that I joined the forum and have awesome supporters like yourselves! I had a huge meeting yesterday, and I NAILED it, so I was very happy about that :) Sorry I haven't been able to check in on all of your progress!

Insanity has like a 60 day calender and each day you have to do a certain video. This week, I was only able to do 25mins on Mon/Tues and Wednesday and I just didn't want to skip over like "Pure Cardio" to do "Cardio Recovery" when I really didn't even do the cardio! So starting back to square one on a Monday will help me get it organized again. Plus, now that I know what to expect it may be easier for me in the first week.

Anyways, I still made it to the gym last night :) Did 45 mins on the Elliptical and I did level 11. When I first got on I felt so lazy, totally didn't feel like it..Not tired or anything, just didn't wanna. But I DID IT :) I lifted weights and walked on the tm a bit. And I had my walk at lunch. I weighed today and I was 191.2 which is 2.6 over what I was on Tuesday BUT I will just blame muscles, I was up on all of the weights (legs), so that's exciting... I am getting stronger :) I've done alright with food, all of the confusion about calories, macros and everything is messing me up. Today I've got to hit the gym hard and do the elliptical at Level 12 for 60mins. The jump between 11 and 12 has been really rough, 12 seems like twice as hard. SWOOSH. I'm looking forward to the weekend and riding my bike, possibly a 7mile hike.

I really hope everyone else is doing good and I will check in later!
 
Congrats on the meeting! Such a relief to have those things over, huh? :)

And yayyy on making it to the gym and kicking butt there! Woohoo! Doesn't it feel good to have done it anyways, even though you felt a bit lazy? Be proud of yourself! :-D

Fluctuations definitely happen. Glad to see you are logical about it!

Hope you are having an amazing day!
